777 auto-landed

Flew MIA-DFW this morning on a 777. The landing was the smoothest I have ever experienced...not even a slight bounce or bump.

As we were taxiing in, the pilot came on and announced that we had just experienced a completely automatic landing by the 777. It was done by simply pushing a button, then sitting back and watching - he said that any one of us could have done it.

I fly 90% S80 and 10% 727, so the 777 was quite a change of pace.
